In a story first reported by FOXsports.com senior writer Thayer Evans, Vincent said the money was paid to Lyles business in December, and was one of several recruitng services LSU used. LSU no longer employs Complete Scouting Services.

Vincent told the Times Picayune LSU paid $6,000 for the JUCO Per State Package which includes game films from California and Kansas Junior Colleges and costs $3,000 per state. Vincent said LSU used 14 different recruiting services last year, ranging from $39.95 to ESPN Insider to $20,000 for National Prep Network.

"It's a normal course of business," Vincent said. He said LSU has not been contacted by the NCAA regarding Lyles.

The NCAA has spoken to 2011 LSU signee Trevon Randle, a linebacker from Clear Springs (Texas) High School, according to Evans' report. A source close to the situation said NCAA investigators have questioned Randle about his contact with Lyles, Randle's Coach, Clint Hartman, and Randle's father, Raymond Edwards.

The report says Lyles accompanied LSU defensive line coach Brick Haley on a visit to Clear Springs last year, and that Hartman asked Lyles to return to the parking lot. The report said Hartman didn't want Lyles around his player and that he called Haley and told him Lyles was never to return to Clear Springs.

Hartman said Haley told him he didn't know Lyles but that he showed up because he had previously helped other LSU coaches in recruiting at Clear Springs.

LSU is the second school to admit to paying Lyles recruiting service. An invoice showed Oregon paid $25,000 to Complete Scouting Services in March of last year. ESPN.com reported two weeks ago that the NCAA is investigating Lyles' relationships with Ducks running back LaMichael James and Lache Seastrunk, a highly recruited running back from Temple, Texas, who signed with Oregon last year.
